SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:(HYBRID) When an Academic’s Brain Becomes Her Worst Enemy: A True Story
DESCRIPTION:Ann Jeffers shares her journey with mental illness\, including receiving a diagnosis of bipolar disorder with psychotic features while she was on the tenure-track in the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan. Her illness was complicated by the trauma she experienced as a graduate student at Virginia Tech from multiple incidents of violence including the 2007 mass shooting. At the advice of her medical team\, she kept her mental illness hidden from the University of Michigan and continued to teach\, attend conferences\, and conduct research while actively symptomatic. Her memoir documents her experiences at the height of the illness. Now a tenured associate professor\, Jeffers has become a vocal advocate for mental health and disability justice on campus and in the community.\n\nThis event is a hybrid event. This includes an author discussion and Q&A from 6:30 - 7:30 PM ET followed by a reception with coffee\, tea\, and desserts until 8:30 PM. Remote CART services are available. \n\nYou may purchase the book at the event (limited supply\; credit card only) or you may purchase the book\, Can You Hear The Music?

SUMMARY:Performance:Imogen Says Nothing
DESCRIPTION:In the first folio of Shakepeare’s *Much Ado About Nothing*\, a character named Imogen appears briefly in the stage directions. She speaks no lines and is probably a typo. \n\nIn Aditi Kapil’s *Imogen Says Nothing*\, Imogen is a woman in Elizabethan England whose life is changed by the opportunity to appear in a performance of *Much Ado About Nothing* – an opportunity reserved solely for men. Imogen appears on stage as a woman playing a man playing a woman. To make matters more complicated\, Imogen is also a bear. \n\nA revisionist comedy in verse and prose\, this feminist hijacking of Shakespeare investigates the voices that have long been absent from the theatrical canon\, and the consequences of cutting them. \n\n*Imogen Says Nothing* premiered on January 20\, 2017\, at the Yale Repertory Theatre\, which also commissioned the play\, in New Haven\, Connecticut.\n\nWritten by Aditi Kapil\nDirected by Malcolm Tulip\n\nFUN FACTS:  Aditi Kapil took the title from a piece of dialogue in *Much Ado About Nothing*. Beatrice\, when describing Benedick\, says\, “The one is too like an image and says nothing.” \n\nAditi Kapil discusses the development of Imogen at Yale here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUZc0lWwiqI
